AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. Stock Soars Amid Record-Breaking Box Office Weekend

On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. experienced a significant surge in its stock price, driven by a stellar performance at the box office during the Memorial Day weekend. Shares of AMC Entertainment soared by over 20%, marking a notable rebound for the company and the broader movie theater sector.

The surge in AMC’s stock was primarily attributed to the record-breaking box office haul over the Memorial Day weekend. Key contributors to this success were Disney’s live-action remake “Lilo & Stitch” and the latest installment of the “Mission Impossible” series, both of which broke box office records. This strong performance at the box office has revitalized investor confidence in AMC and other movie theater stocks.

Despite a negative price-to-earnings ratio of -3.02, the recent box office success has provided a much-needed boost to the company’s financial outlook.

In related news, AMC Networks, a separate entity, announced the promotion of Olivia Dupuis to Executive Vice President of Publicity, highlighting internal developments within the broader AMC corporate family.

Overall, the record-breaking Memorial Day weekend has provided a significant uplift to AMC Entertainment’s stock, reflecting the company’s resilience and the enduring appeal of theatrical movie experiences. Investors and market analysts are closely watching the company’s performance in the coming weeks to assess the sustainability of this positive momentum.
